FAYETTEVILLE — Eric Musselman, the Razorbacks’ men’s basketball coach, met with the media on Friday wearing a No. 12 Arkansas baseball jersey.
That’s the number of catcher Michael Turner.
“He’s my favorite player,” Musselman said.
Musselman, an avid baseball fan who as a college student at the University of San Diego worked for the Padres, will attend his first College World Series game Saturday when Arkansas plays Stanford.
“I have never been,” Musselman said. “Cannot wait.”
Musselman said he talked to Dave Van Horn, Arkansas’ baseball coach, when both attended the Razorbacks’ softball super regional third game against Texas.
